Fascinated by the theological hodgepodge of Tron: Ares, in which a character named Eve grows a forbidden tree and plucks from it… an orange, of no significance or consequence, before granting eternal life to a guy named for the Greek god of war, who only desires Buddhist Moksha

on the other hand a lot of people being bitter and salty about FFXIV in a way that shits up discussion of the game on a consistent basis is "people playing the game who do not and will never actually like the mechanical or narrative premises of the game" and it does get very old

DHS default is to lie about every encounter. Which is why they’re trying to criminalize recording them.

CHICAGO (WGN) - A WGN creative services department employee was detained by two
Border Patrol officers and later released after federal agents swarmed a busy intersection on Chicago's North Side Friday morning, at the height of rush hour.
WGN is not naming the employee, as station policy requires blurring faces and not identifying those who have not been charged with a crime.
Witnesses on site who captured the incident on video spoke to WGN about the moments leading up to the staffer's detainment.

Thomas added that when he made his way down to the scene, around 8:30 Friday morning, he realized there was another person already detained inside the minivan being used by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
"I didn't get his name, although I asked for his name," Thomas said. "He didn't speak very good English. They claimed that the WGN employee was obstructing justice, even though she was, like all of us, just standing there, taking video.'

The “Do Something” grifters blaming Democrats for Republicans’ refusal to seat Rep-Elect Grijalva…

Why do you think she hasn’t suggested some secret way to get sworn in?

Why do you think you know so much more about the situation than she does?

Why do you think as little of her as Johnson does?

America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result.

Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that.

The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

In Yoshi's Island, a cave background sparkles, but only when Yoshi moves. This is achieved in an inventive way by making many 1-pixel "pinholes" in the background through which a field of stars is visible. The parallax motion shows the stars intermittently, creating sparkles.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

if “speaker of the house refuses to swear in member of the opposition party” isn’t a constitutional crisis, i don’t know what is. we don’t have a functioning government if duly elected representatives are not allowed to take their seats.
